Dan Dan Noodles are one of my favorite noodle dishes. I love how the mouth numbing Sichuan peppercorns and spicy chili oil pair perfectly with the chewy noodles and fatty ground pork! I top my noodles off with peanuts, freshly chopped scallions, and one last drizzle of chili oil and for the perfect meal in under 30 minutes!

In a large bowl, mix together the chili oil, light soy sauce, sesame paste, ground Sichuan peppercorns, give spice powder, sugar, MSG if using, and garlic.

Fry the marinated ground pork in 1 tbsp of neutral oil over high heat, or until the pork fat has rendered and crisped in it's own fat, about 4-5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 4

Cook noodles in boiling water until al dente and transfer immediately to your sauce along with 1/4 cup of starchy noodle water. Add more water if needed to loosen up the sauce.
